Hello all,
I have a Verizon Galaxy S5 on TING on the GSM network. It's rooted with Safe Strap installed.
My one and only problem right now is that I cannot edit the button #1 speed dial from *86 to anything else. It is interfering with my voicemail notifications.
I can add my own number to #2 and speed dial into and access voicemail just fine. I can go into the settings, edit #1 speed dial, change the *86 to whatever,and it says the change has been saved...but it isn't. It remains *86.
Any ideas on how I can edit this sucker? lol I have root, so I could crawl deep into a system file and edit it if need be.
Thanks in advance
I've been trying to figure this out too
i have an unlocked verizon s5 with simple mobile service
if i put in a verizon or tmobile sim card in, im able to edit the voicemail number and it saves, but when i stick my simple mobile sim in the phone it goes back to *86 (which is not simple mobiles vm number), it says it changed and saves but doesnt as the OP described
I tried looking through some files to see if its hard coded somewhere but was unable to find it
any help on this topic would be much appreciated
No one has any ideas or suggestions?
There must be some hack that can be done?
Update
I got my vmail number changed. I'm not sure how but it saved. All I really did was install Google voice then saved that as my voicemail service. I then dialed I think it was *72 for call forwarding then disabled it with *73 I then tried to switch back to my carrier vmail and it just hung on some loading icon. I forced closed opened settings again and my carrier vmail was selected. I tried going back to Google voice and if said failed forwarding. I then tried again. Same error. I then went and tried to change the voicemail number to a contact named voicemail with my number and sure enough it stuck even after a reboot and holding 1 on the dial pad now calls my voicemail instead of *86
I have the same problem. I tried to change it to T-Mobile's 123 to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Interesting. Congrats on getting lucky. I'll have to try this and mess around a bit this weekend if I have time.
I have the same issue.... I read somewhere you have to update to 5.1, it's just bug of the system. Maybe I am wrong, but anyway somewhere in files it should keep this *86 number.....
BUT when I put inactive sim-card from T-Mobile, I COULD change the number and COULD saved it, when switch again to Simple Mobile(my carrier), the problem came back... again *86
You will need to change in the Phone menu settings for Voicemail, not the voicemail contact. Go to the Phone screen, select menu and then Settings, go to Voicemail settings and update the Voicemail number to be *86,XXXXX# where XXXXX represents your VM password and Save.

Being an alltel customer still in verizon's eyes means no access to verizon services such as Vcast tv, visual voicemail, vz navi, etc........who really cares. But I do need the visual voicemail. And fusionplus works great, tack 3.99/mo and you have voice-to-text. Very nice service.
Explain a little more about PhoneFusion. I have verizon visual voicemail and it seems ok but I was wondering how PhoneFusion works since you have to forward you number to their number then you getting charged minutes everytime you get a voicemail.
It does run on your normal minutes when you call in to check your voicemails. However, they are visible and you download them via data connection and then play in windows media player as mp3's so the there really is no need to use your voice minutes. You can manually download or set them to auto download. And of course the service is free. More info at http://www.fusionvoicemailplus.com/
how did you get it to forward it? when i did i called the *72 it makes it go straight to voicemail everytime, it doesnt ring on my end.

You first need to call verizon and have them set your conditional call forwarding number to 813-200-0200. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL YOUR MESSAGES DELETED BEFORE YOU CHANGE FROM VERIZON VOICEMAIL TO FUSION PLUS (or else you will not be able to get rid of the new voicemail notifications and it will drive you crazy like it did me). When you call verizon, speak only with tech support as customer service will say its not possible. After you do this go in to phone settings and on the first tab "phone" (start->settings->all settings->personal->phone) where it says "voicemail" change the number to 813-200-0200. This should automatically set your 1st speed dial to your new voicemail box. Good to go.

Here's a quote from the email they sent me:
To activate conditional call forwarding: Enter *7118132000200 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
To deactivate conditional call forwarding: Enter *73 as if it is a phone number that you are dialing and press "SEND".
*72 is Call Forwarding:

I tried this method three times and was unsuccessful until I called tech support and had them do it for me. Did this work for you?
how do you get 'sync' to work? I'm either putting in the wrong number/password combination or something else. New email comes in fine.

See post number 5.
Sweeny Russ, it has been about a week or so since you have had phonefusion running, how do you like it, Verizon's visual voicemail is handy but the app takes to long to load and I don't know if it is 2.99/month handy. Reading your posts it seems like it is a pain in the A$$ to setup if you have to call tech support. I wonder why doing the *71 + the number would not work?
Thanks

Thanks, but that didn't help me. I did figure it out though. When you add an account, use the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you. Then sync will work. I had changed my password via their website and it wasn't working in the phone software. Must have needed a little more time to update.
Overall, it works good. I like it better than the Visual Voice Mail and I think the quality is better and its free. I didn't have to call VZW to get my cell to forward. It was very easy and straight forward.
However, I need to find away to be able to use the handset speaker to play the voicemails instead of using the speaker phone. It's getting a little annoying. I think the default is Microsoft media player. I can't find away for it to switch between handset and speaker. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it.
icon, did you do *71 + number or * 72 + number?

Thank for the reply. If I would of only read. My fault. I got it.
Morning all,
I am trying to get FusionPlus to sync when I hit the sync option. I have put my VZW phone number in there, along with my VZW vm password. Should I do the opposite and put the FusionPlus number and password?
Steve
I just entered my verizon number and the password. I clicked sync, I did not get any errors but it does not seem to have done anything.

That's what I was talking about above...
For syncing, put the Fusion Voicemail Login number they email you and the password they give you.
Hope that helps. I think they could have given a little more direction on that. I wasn't sure what number to put either.
I used my verizon phone number and the password phonefusion sent me.
I think fusion is perfect. I also found that it does not have to be open to notify you of new voicemails. It is very finger friendly and If you have bluetooth toggle you can list to your voicemail via bluetooth headset, the way I do it anyway, which is nice if you have messages you don't want anyone to be able to hear because it routes through the speaker. And if you delete a message but then need it later they save it for 14 days, unless your free mailbox is full. Also I can't see it using any visible resources, its footprint is very small compared to verizon visual voicemail.
Hi, I have noticed that when someone leaves me a voicemail I get a notification that ###-#### left a message in your voicemail. After few minutes it goes away
Is there a way too keep track of it, like a Voicemail Log? I know about Google voice, but right now its only by invitation
I have already searched for an app like that in market place but no luck.
EDIT: Just learned that I have visual mail in my plan from rogers and also learned that I DO NOT see the number ppl are leaving message from, its just my voicemail number. And found one cool thing, IF YOU ARE TIRED OF TYPING YOUR PASSWORD EVERYTIME YOU CALL YOUR VOICEMAIL. Goto call setting> Voicemail> In the number box after your voicemail # put ,xxxx (xxx is your password for voicemail).
If you do this correctly you dont need to type in your password again and again.
Anyone having trouble with a voice mail icon that won't clear from the notifications bar. Its driving me nuts trying to get rid of it. I don't even use t-mobile voice mail
ya i just connected to it and let it do it's thing. it went away after that. i use google voice so i don't use tmobile either.
so dial the voicemail number connect and let it set up. that's all it will go away.
Call yourself and leave a voice mail and delete and it'll go away.
I also have this problem. My G2 is setup with Google Voice as the voicemail. I have called myself multiple times to leave a voicemail and then called the voicemail and deleted the message, but the icon remains. There is no option to clear this icon in the notification bar. I have also done some reboots, including removing the battery since HTC doesnt do a full power down with its fastboot feature.
Has anyone found a way to remove the icon other than calling and leaving yourself a message? Is anyone else still suffering from this annoyance?
Wow, 2 minutes after posting I found my solution. Here it is for others:
1. Go to call settings and change the voice mail service to carrier
2. Hold the 1 key to dial voicemail (this should go send you to the T-mobile system). Delete any messages if neccessary
3. Icon should disappear during this call
4. Change back to google voice for voicemail.
5. Continue using your awesome G2 while others use older, crappier phones.
I use youmail but when I set my phone up for the first time, it gave me the same problem too but youmail changed the carrier default number so I had to manually add it back before I could get the notification to go away.
Found this out after 2 factory resets
Gotta make sure your carrier voicemail number is tmobile's 1805637::::::: number (you can google it)
Then you can forward back to gvoice or whatever it is you use.
Again, MAKE SURE YOU DEFAULT CARRIER NUMBER IS FOR TMOBILES!!

its annoying.
i didnt change anything. just diaed 123 and listen to t-mobiles vm settings. hang up and its gone.
ya this was driving me crazy all day! under settings/call/voicemail service just change it to "my carrier" then call yourself leave a msg. then delete it and then you can go back to settings and set it back to google voice so you can have transcribed voicemails!

Yes, I had to figure this out the hard way myself. Change from google voice to standard voicemail... delete messages... change back.
I tried every suggestion in this thread but I still have the voicemail icon. Does anyone have any additional suggestions?
When I try to change my voicemail settings from GV to my carrier and leave myself a message, the notification comes from GV even though I already changed it to carrier settings. The problem persists after a reboot as well.
Got another phone? Pop in sim. Call voicemail. Or delete Google voice. Then call voicemail.

voicemail icon
once you go in and set up your t-mobile voicemail, the icon goes away, then you can change back to google voice if you like that better.
The voice mail notification is there but I have no voice mails. I have looked everywhere and cant find how to get rid of it. Can anyone help?
Guess I am alone on this I have deleted Google Voice, called my old voice mail number and made sure that there was nothing there, factory reset and wiped it. I have no clue how to clear this notification. This along with the left side of my touch screen being unresponsive might just have to take it back.
It's down to the carrier to clear it, not you.
Leave yourself a vm, then delete it... Bingo!

I had the same problem. Soon as I got my phone, the voicemail icon appeared.
If you're using Google Voice, this is how I fixed it:
Change voicemail from Google Voice to My Carrier.
Settings > Call Settings > Voicemail Service
Stop Voicemail Forwarding:
Go to google.com/voice > Settings > Deactivate Google voicemail on this phone
(If you're with T-Mobile, it's: ##004#)
Then call your number and listen to your non-existing voicemail. Once you hung up, the notification should be gone.
You can change the setting back to normal (voicemail carrier and voicemail Forwarding).
To re-activate voicemail forwarding (for T-Mobile):
*004*1----------#
Replace dashes with your 10-digit Google Voice number.
Hope that helps.

I had this issues when I got my Nexus S, I had AT&T, Google Voice, then ported my number to T-Mobile. I had a Voicemail from 805 number (T-Mobile), took a while to properly port over. I tried all kinds of things, then after my AT&T SIM finally disabled, I turned off GV, called my own, left a voicemail, checked the voicemail and it fixed itself. Now back to GV for voicemails.
Thank you for all the suggestions I didnt get to read this till after I got home from work. I ended up taking my phone back and got a replacement. As soon as I popped my sim in the voicemail notification popped up. Same problem as before so I drove home. I called T-Mobile and switched to the new sim card that came with the phone. Called my voice mail hung up the notification is gone. So somehow my sim card was causing the error.
Well, when I go through the config setup for Google Voice, the com.android.phone quits.
So, I went into phone, and selected Call settings, then Voice Mail Service, and select Google. It Asks 'Change to new provider?'. After a few seconds, it responses with 'Forwarding Voice Number failed'.
I also tried entering my Google Voice number in Voice Mail Settings for My Carrier, but all that does is provide a number to call for voice mail. Of course, that did seem to forward to my Google Voice Mail number. At this point I'm not sure if there are any implications of setting it up this way.

I had the same experience. Google Voice works but the voicemail change didn't. So I opened the phone app and pressed the menu key and went to call settings. Then I went to voicemail carrier and Google Voice was an option. I selected the option and it asked if I wanted to change the provider and after I clicked yes it worked. So it just looks like the wizard failed for me but doing it manually seemed to work fine.

That didnt work for me, and in fact, the only thing that worked for me when i had the LG Nitro HD and the HTC One X, and now the GS3, the only thing that works is to open the phone app, hit the Menu > Call Settings > Call Forwarding > Voice call.
Keep Always Forward set to disabled, and set everything else to the google voice number, including the +1.. So if your google voice number is (123)456-7890, then each of the 3 lines would all say +11234567890

Haven't tried it yet, but I do expect that to work. I used that type of coding (as outlined in this Wiki page) in a Tasker script to forward my phone home automatically when hooked to my home WiFi.
I can't find what the *11* is for at the end of it. Do you know?

I typed in that code. Goto a positive mesage back.
So then I went into settings and tried to set up the voice mail again, and it is stil failing.
However, Upon checking the Voice Mail setings for Cal Forwarding, all thre of the phone numbers are set to my GV number.
That should be all... You don't need to go through gvoice setup again if you used the code
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I finally got GV to be my voicemail again.
From the phone app, menu button>Call settings.
Scroll down and select Call forwarding.
Select Voice call.
Select Always forward.
Enter GV number, and then Enable.
Turn off: Select Disable.
Select Update.
Now the forward when busy, unanswered and unreachable will be turned on and the "always forward" will be off.
Then you just have to go back to Call Settings and change the voicemail number to your GV number. Voicemail>Voicemail Settings.
It will still say My Carrier in voicemail service and such, but it functions properly.
I posted this in the Google Voice thread in the General section, but I'll put it here too. This works, same as the others, but this actually gets the system to change everything to say Google Voice is handling your voicemail:
Actually, I found a workaround I had to use with the Infuse...
Yes, you have to do the call forwarding code again: *004*[Google Voice Number]#
Then in your dialer settings, select Google Voice as your voicemail service. It will give you an option box popup which asks you to hit cancel or OK. Just hit the home button to leave the menu. When you go back in, Google Voice is selected, your Google Voice # is your voicemail number, and everything is set up properly.

I had to go to google.com/voice and sign my compadre up for a new number, then it started working properly after following the number forwarding.
Thanks!
From another similar thread, the solution is as above mentioned with the numbers; basically log into google voice from your computer -- go to settings and then the part where it lists your mobile numbers added to your account. Click deactivate voicemail -- it'll give you a code to punch into your dialer on your phone. Then click activate -- and it will give you a code to punch in to change the call forwarding settings.
